Abstract
Forests are the most important part of terrestrial life as they provide shelter to 80% of terrestrial life and provide them with food as well. Forest fires are a serious threat to flora and fauna followed by deforestation. Various preventive measures are taken to avoid such incidents from taking place still, many such incidents happen every year causing long term damage to surrounding biology, environment, and wildlife. This paper proposes a large-scale monitoring system and deep learning-based forest fire detection model that can detect forest fires from video frames captured by UAV drones. The proposed CNN model successfully detects forest fires with 97.29% accuracy. This will help to control the forest fires before they get out of control.
